You have a different, limited system of counting. You're apparently

only looking at the deaths in Hitler's concentration camps and not

the real number that died as a result of Hitler. The latter is a

total of over 60 million people that died in WWII, 50mil+ of which

were in Europe, and those 50 mil at least, are directly attributable

to Hitler.

What�s not appreciated is that Nazism is a form of



socialism. In fact, the term Nazi stands for the



National Socialist German Workers� Party. The unspeakable



acts of Adolf Hitler�s Nazis pale in comparison with the



horrors committed by the communists in the former Union



of Soviet Socialist Republics and the People�s Republic



of China. Between 1917 and 1987, Vladimir Lenin, Josef



Stalin and their successors murdered and were otherwise



responsible for the deaths of 62 million of their own



people.





The above is pretty much a fluff piece. There is no actual data,

no definition of what he's counting and not counting. He just tosses

out a number, anyone can do that. It's clearly

not just those that died in the gulags or were deliberately executed,

not to get to that number. If you have a factual analysis that goes

through the numbers, that would be interesting.





I would love to be wrong.

As I said, if you have someone making a reasonable detailed analysis,
showing what the criteria was, as opposed to just claiming a number,
I'd be happy to see it. Otherwise, you don't know what is included,
what is counted, what isn't. I suspect you'll find that the numbers
that purport to show those 60 mil+ numbers include even the kitchen sink.
And if you count on that basis, you'd have to similarly take the highest numbers for WWII, in which case I think Hitler still exceeded the Russians.
